Chapter 247 Opening of the curtain
Xiamen Haicang.
Rows of bulldozers push forward neatly at the same speed. Whenever they meet a soldier wearing a red armband, they turn to the place where the red flag points.
If you look at it from a high altitude, the hundreds of meters wide bulldozer fleet, like countless whips, plowing the wilderness, farmland and small shrubs into a flat open space. The ensuing concrete leveler is filled with sufficient concrete materials and moves slowly under the friction of high-frequency vibrators.
In the truck that followed slowly, there were electricians and plumbers going up and down. They borrowed a small crane to erect electric poles and sank cement pipes and water pipes into roadside ditches.
A planned highway extends straight forward until a small hill, and then suddenly turns and disappears into the hazy mountains.
The mountain built by Fu* is always dark green, like the bottomless sea. The fog seems to be green, converging into waves, in the mountains, in the valley, in the top of the mountain, rolling, turning back...
With a "boom", the earth, stone, mud and sand mixed with broken wood rushed straight into the sky, knocking away the white fog with light green waves, and then you can see the true face of the mountain below.
But it was only a few minutes. After a while, the mountains were silent again, waiting for the next explosion. It's like a continuous mountain, and it also needs to turn over.
Wang Sheng and Su Cheng stood on a small mountain bag and stared at the scene in front of them. At their feet is the headquarters composed of temporary board houses, and people come and go in the small yard. Short and powerful shouts such as "report" and "yes" and "understand" are endless, just like wartime.
In the middle of the temporary board room, there is a long antenna erected, and there are two iron bars on both sides of the antenna, like uncoordinated Sanmao, tied with a rope, with a red cloth hanging in the middle, writing "One people, tenacious struggle, give gifts to the National Day!"
After watching it for a long time, Wang Sheng wrapped his clothes tightly and said shockingly, "I heard that there are mechanized engineers, but I didn't expect this to be like this."
Su Cheng also nodded silently. The scene here gave him a lot of memories. The assembly line-like engineering construction is not only a kind of strength and discipline, but also shows excellent competitiveness and efficiency. If the same project is in Taiwan or the United States, I'm afraid it will take several times or even dozens of times longer.
For enterprises chasing profits, these disciplined forces are like gold dollars rolling. Large-scale industrial production requires technology and management, as well as disciplined workers.
The 901 project headquarters sent a secretary to accompany Wang Sheng and Su Cheng to visit the Haicang Special Zone. He was vigorous, stepped on the bluestone with one foot, pointed to the project in front of him and said, "We plan to complete the land leveling task of 10,000 hectares before the National Day on October 1. At that time, there will be no problem with the entry of the main equipment. What you see now is the 400 mu of land planned for the methanol factory. The highway and water and electricity will soon be connected, and then the telephone. At that time, the special zone's own thermal power station will be ready, and then the electricity will be connected.
100,000 tons of methanol factory, more than 200 mu of land. 400 mu of free land is a bit like a reward for Suzhou City.
This is a silent conversation.
As the first factory in the special zone, it may be the only factory. The construction of Dahua Methanol Factory means that Project 901 has entered the official construction period, instead of constantly waiting.
Historically, Haicang Special Zone has been waiting for nearly 3 years, and was finally abandoned after the hope disappeared. In the past three years, the people who have made contributions and contributed have silently returned to their regions and units, as if this had never happened again.
Su Cheng looked back on history and only felt that it was a pity. However, when he was in the midst of "history", he felt that Wang Yongqing was extremely cruel.
Because while Formosa Plastics proposed the $7 billion "Haicang Plan", Wang Yongqing also tried to operate another similar plan: "Taiwan's sixth set of light oil cracking plants". In addition to the different names, the core of the petrochemical base commonly known as the "six light" is the same as the Haicang plan. It is a large ethylene project with an annual output of more than 450,000 tons. Naturally, Formosa Plastics does not have the ability to operate two major industrial projects at the same time. It is not so much that Wang Yongqing is hesitant, but that he bids on both sides.
He not only threatened Taiwan to approve the six light schemes with the Haicang Plan, but also used the six light plans to urge the mainland to make concessions. The meaning of one woman and two marriage is quite clear. It's just that the dowry of Formosa Plastics is really rich, and it can only be seen as if it is not seen in China. It is determined to implement the Haicang plan.
In this process, compromise is the main tone. However, in the end, Formosa Plastics Group chose the six light projects in Taiwan. The strict administrative orders of Chen Shuibian and others also gave Formosa Plastics an excellent step, making the end of the Haicang plan helpless.
However, after three years of negotiations failed, Formosa Plastics obtained the coveted "six light" construction rights. What China got was just a lesson. Tens of thousands of staff who paid for it were like dancing in a vacuum, not even leaving a sound, and dedicated three years of youth in vain. Of these people, there are high-end talents who design construction machinery such as assembly lines.
Su Cheng walked down the hillside, stepped on the fresh concrete ground, and said secretly: This time, you can't do whatever you want.
Wang Sheng also adjusted his mood and followed Su Cheng step by step. He smiled and said, "The efficiency of the mainland is really unexpectedly fast. Su Dong's decision-making is fast, and the construction speed of mechanized engineers is also fast.
"Taiwan business owners, there are some accidents." Su Cheng is talking about those downstream manufacturers who follow Formosa Plastics. In the whole product line, Formosa Plastics is actually in the middle reaches. Its upstream is Taiwan's [China] PetroChina, which has the same nature as the mainland's [China] PetroChina. It is mainly engaged in crude oil business and petrochemical business, mainly producing gasoline and diesel, as well as chemical raw materials such as ethylene methanol. Formosa Plastics buys raw materials such as ethylene from China Oil, produces PVC powder, PVC pipes and other products, and then gives them to the supporting downstream manufacturers to make products.
A little more investment than the "six light" investment in the Haicang plan lies in the cooperation and migration of downstream manufacturers in Taiwan. Therefore, where and when Formosa Plastics will build the factory will have a great impact on them.
Wang Sheng didn't need to hide it and chatted, "Taiwan Plastics brewing petrochemical base is not a matter of a day or two, everyone knows. However, we didn't know about the Haicang Plan and the joining of Dahua Industry not long ago. It can be said that before he was familiar with Dahua, Su Dong set up a 100,000-ton methanol factory with great fanfare, which was really unexpected.
"Has anyone made me stunned?" Su Cheng smiled and said.
Wang Sheng also smiled and said, "We Taiwanese are not stunned."
"That's a fool or something."
"Su Dong's modesty is so special. Su Dong chose to build a methanol factory immediately. Although it was confusing, it seemed normal from the perspective of Dahua Industry. Dahua Industry often does extraordinary things.
"Is this Chairman Wang's evaluation?" Su Cheng looked over jokingly.
Wang Sheng was embarrassed by Jiong's eyes and said far-fetchedly, "Wang Dong lives in the United States and doesn't know much about the specific work here."
He didn't even believe what he said. Haicang Special Zone is used for the construction of the petrochemical base of the Haicang Plan in accordance with the requirements of Wang Yongqing and approved by Deng Gong. It is a very important one of the 11 items proposed by Formosa Plastics. Without Wang Yongqing's acquiescence, how could he give up 400 mu to Dahua Industry in vain?
Su Cheng did not expose him, but said, "Dahua Industry is more interested in upstream factories, and the methanol factory is our established strategy. In fact, if Formosa Plastics had already had a Haicang plan, I would also want to make ethylene.
"The cost of the large ethylene project is very high. Su Dong was joking.
"I signed a contract of 1,800 tons of liquefied natural gas. I dreamed of getting some project consumption. Didn't I have to build a petrochemical base in Shanxi before? The 500,000-ton methanol project has been yellowed by the Planning Commission. Today's methanol project is only 100,000 tons. Although it uses new equipment, there is not much financial pressure. If you work hard, maybe you can get another 180,000 tons of ethylene?
Wang Sheng was silent. Formosa Plastics has one characteristic, or the head of Formosa Plastics, which is that he likes to do independent business and master sole proprietorship. This is related to the difficulties encountered by Wang Yongqing in his first business. Therefore, the Haicang plan can accommodate one methanol project, but it is impossible to accommodate another ethylene project, so he can't answer Su Cheng's temptation at all.
Su Cheng just wanted Wang Sheng to pass the words back, and said with a moderate smile, "Actually, I just want to do it. Now with the Haicang plan of Formosa Plastics, the approval of new ethylene projects has been stopped in China. I heard that for the Haicang plan of Formosa Plastics, 11 or 14 small ethylene projects across the country have been suspended, right?
"The mainland is full of sincerity." Wang Sheng doesn't know history, so he can't figure out Su Cheng's thinking. He can only keep it in mind and walk silently.
Li Xiaodong, a vigorous secretary, is also walking silently. Although he only listened and didn't say anything, his eyebrows were fluttering, which was richer than the expressions of Su Cheng and Wang Sheng combined.
At the end of the reception task, Li Xiaodong couldn't wait to return to the simple mobile board room, spread out a piece of writing paper, and began to memorize the dialogue between Su Cheng and Wang Sheng.
The condensed regular script is densely written. After completion, Li Xiaodong read it again, slightly modified it, and added parentheses and explained some uncertain places.
After repeatedly confirming that it was correct, Li Xiaodong copied it again, and added a few words of his own judgment. Then he stuffed three thin pieces of paper into the envelope, sealed it carefully, and sent it to the headquarters.
Wang Sheng returned to the hotel and did not rest immediately. Instead, he lay in ** and thought for a while. Thinking of the middle of the moon, he picked up the phone and said, "Receive me a ticket to New York in the United States. It's okay to transfer. The sooner the better."
